Chimney Sweep & Repair in McCandless, PA
McCandless (the Town of McCandless) is one of the larger North Hills suburbs, built up mostly from the 1960s onward, with a good number of homes now old enough that original chimney liners and caps are due for a look.
Western Pennsylvania sees real winters with repeated freeze-thaw cycles from December through March, which is hard on exterior masonry — cracked mortar joints and crown damage show up more here than in milder climates.

McCandless Chimney FAQ
My McCandless home was built in the 1970s — is that old enough to worry about the liner?
It can be — liners from that era are approaching or past their typical service life, so it's worth having it scoped, especially before switching appliances.
